Nebraska hits the road for the first time in its young 2018-19 campaign this weekend. On Monday, the Huskers (3-0) will play Missouri State (3-0) at the Sprint Center in Kansas City as part of the Hall of Fame Classic.

"I don’t think we really worry about the preseason rankings or anything like that," James Palmer Jr. said after Nebraska's 80-57 win over Seton Hall. "We just focus on ourselves. Tonight, we just handled business."

For the second straight game, Nebraska basketball blew out its opponent. But it was supposed to do that. So what's there to talk about? Isaac Copeland, Isaiah Roby, Thomas Allen and head coach Tim Miles had a few things.

Last season may have been Nebraska’s most successful since 2013-14, but 2017-18 was a different story for Glynn Watson Jr. individually. The Huskers need a bounce-back season from the senior in 2018-19 and his strong performance in the season-opener is a great start.

Fresh off a 69-point win that afforded Tim Miles the luxury of getting his young players plenty of playing time, the Huskers returned to the practice court on Thursday to prepare for the challenges the next couple of weeks will provide, starting with Sunday's game against Southeastern Louisiana.

James Palmer Jr. knocked a 3-pointer from the top of the key on the first possession of the game and the Huskers never looked back in a wire-to-wire domination of Mississippi Valley State on Tuesday night.
